Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken or Tofu

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Prep the Proteins

    If using chicken, slice the boneless breasts into strips. If using tofu, drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.

  3. 3

    Combine Proteins and Marinade

    Add the chicken strips or tofu cubes into the marinade. Ensure they are well-coated and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken or Tofu

    In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or tofu and stir-fry for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tofu is golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, and sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the dish before serving. Enjoy your Chicken/Tofu with rice or noodles!
